Carrie started working as the Social Media Manager at Wish Granters in March of 2021, and she loves working for such an amazing organization that changes lives everyday. Carrie is currently working towards her Psychology degree at Idaho State University.

She got married to her husband in 2019 and has 2 beautiful children. Carrie is passionate about the outdoors, traveling, and books!

Carrie first learned about Wish Granters through her father-in-law, Jim Paulson, who is the current Board President. She witnessed her mother-in-law go through stage-IV uterine cancer, and saw all of the ins and outs of the care that she received. She unfortunately passed away in February of 2020 – that is when Carrie decided to get involved in helping other terminally ill adults and their families make a lasting memory.

Olivia started working for Wish Granters as the Executive Assistant in June 2022, became the Executive Director in June 2023, and then shifted roles into the Marketing & Events Coordinator when she moved back to Alabama in July 2024.

She and her husband moved to Boise from Atlanta, GA at the beginning of 2021 because they wanted to try something new and experience living out West. They loved Boise and all of the great things it had to offer, but after having their son, Ryder, in October of 2023, they decided it was time to move back to the Southeast to be closer to family. They also have a Boxer named Spud that joins along in all of life’s adventures with them.

Olivia graduated from Auburn University in 2015 with a degree in Business, and she has worked in several industries since then. She loves being a part of Wish Granters and is proud to help such a wonderful organization that has made a huge impact on so many deserving people!
